Kids Do Magic Halloween Tricks then learn Science with New Ebook

A new ebook “Halloween Magic & Silly Science” published on 1 Oct 2012 by British author Wyken Seagrave shows children ten magic tricks they can play on Halloween and then explains the science which makes them work.

Oct. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Halloween is a great time for having fun and experimenting with all things supernatural. This new ebook takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to help children under 10 years of age realise that even magic has a scientific basis. It explains how to conduct ten magic tricks which can easily be performed with materials found in most homes and will amaze friends and parents.

It then gives a mocking but scientifically accurate account of what a scientist might say about the physical basis for the trick.

Great fun for all ages, but especially for the 5 to 10 age range, the book is available for purchase from the website devoted to the science of Halloween: halloweenscience.co.uk
